There was a comment earlier on using Xalan with java 1.4

this came up on my mailing list today.
Relates to mixing later versions of Xalan with 1.4

>An earlier, not entirely bug-free version of Xalan-J is also part of Java
>1.4. Under normal circumstances, this is used instead of the current Xalan
>distribution, no matter what is on the system CLASSPATH.
>
>Fortunately, these classes are endorsed standards, so you can overide the
>Java version using the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism by placing the
>relevant jar files (in this case, xalan.jar) in the appropriate directory.
>The default location is:
>
>%JAVA_HOME%\lib\endorsed
>on Windows, or:
>
>%JAVA_HOME%/lib/endorsed
>on a Linux system.
>
>Developers can also choose a new location by setting the java.endorsed.dirs
>system property.
>
>Users of older versions of Java need not be concerned with this issue.
